School to life with lively, multi-hued murals depicting the beach
and scenes from under the sea to go along with the school's mascot,
the Dolphins. In addition to the murals and repainting all of the
yellow trim on campus, volunteers cleared the school site of debris
and planted flowers and sapling trees. Additional volunteers worked
on improvements at Dominguez High School, while still others tackled
sprucing up the properties of various homeowners in the area who
haven't the means or ability to tend to their properties adequately.
An official from the Paramount-based church that launched the initiative
several years ago said that hundreds of volunteers turned out that
morning and that, on average, it costs roughly $40,000 to complete
one of the initiative's quarterly cleanups. The funding comes from
donations from churchgoers, private donors and corporate sponsors. —Bulletin
